/**
* Marker annotation that can be used to define a non-static,
* single-argument method to be used as a "setter" for a logical property
* as an alternative to recommended
* {@link JsonProperty} annotation (which was introduced in version 1.1).
*
* Setter means that when a property with matching name is encountered in
* JSON content, this method will be used to set value of the property.
*
* NOTE: this annotation was briefly deprecated for version 1.5; but has
* since been un-deprecated to both allow for asymmetric naming (possibly
* different name when reading and writing JSON), and more importantly to
* allow multi-argument setter method in future.
